OH MY! I cannot wait to go here and try out the food. I am super impressed by what I found while searching the menu today, which you can download via a search of the link above.

Every item on the menu is marked with a pictograph for the contained allergens. They also have a ledger with each menu item by name and the associated allergens listed alphabetically alongside.

It is a pretty incredible thing to see this level of communication. It is also seriously considerate and appreciated.

I’m going this weekend so either I’ll see you there or you’ll see me here next week to share food impressions!

Update by Diane 3/19/2024. Agave & Rye has come to Eton Square in Woodmere. There are also locations elsewhere in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana and Alabama.

Beerhead

Flats and other locations

5 Locations in Ohio including the Cleveland Flats!

Took in the lovely Cleveland weather at the East Bank Arts Fest while enjoying refreshments at Beerhead. Super excited to find out that they have some g-f options on the menu – including pizza. Even more excited to find out they offer Glutenberg beer at the bar!!! It is ever so nice to be able to sit with friends enjoying their cocktails and be able to participate:)

Check it out. Enjoy the river activity. Take a walk. Refresh.

Always be your best advocate and question the items you order from each and every kitchen. Every time!!!

Lindey’s Lake House

Update by Diane 3/27/2022. The Beachwood location is closed. The restaurant has a location in the Flats, East Bank.

From Lindey’s web page: Farm to Table. Fresh. Local.

From our page: Gluten-free options too.

Headed over to Lindey’s Lake House at La Place in Beachwood with a bit of gluten-free “new restaurant” anxiety. As it turns out nervousness was totally unnecessary.

After being greeted by our server, Mo, I stated out my g-f necessity and asked if he could steer me toward accommodations. He was amazingly knowledgeable about both my needs and the entire menu – limitations and availabilities.

As it was ‘Happy Hour’ he suggested we try the Leo’s Lemonade made with vodka distilled in Columbus – corn based – absent gluten. The drink was super! From the salad menu I chose the Shaved Brussel Sprout salad – one of two g-f options (the other being the chopped salad) . The sprouts salad was amazing. The guac and shishito pepper small plates were recommended as options but I passed on appetizers for this meal. For my entree I chose to go with tacos – two of the options on the menu are g-f. As one of my dinner companions was also interested in the tacos we ordered the Mahi-Mahi and the Steak options. We shared. Both options were super delectable! I’ve not been able to recall what other options on the menu were available but as we rounded out the meal with coffee we, all four, agreed that we’d be back to Lindey’s to try more of the menu.

Stay tuned for updates. Better yet check it out and post us a comment. And if you like, ask for Mo. He’s great!

I enjoyed lunch at Zaytoon before a Playhouse Square matinee.

The small restaurant has just 2 tables and seating on stools along the windows.

The menu has items designated gluten free and the woman taking the order seemed aware of GF options and kitchen procedures. And the kitchen is open so you can watch the chef make your lunch.

Chicken soup was served piping hot with lots of chicken and an interesting touch of cinnamon. The falafel plate comes with 2 sides and I chose hummus and fries. All was really tasty.

Had a great lunch at Wahlburgers at Prospect and Ontario in the shadow of the casino.

The menu features burgers (of course), other sandwiches and salads. There is no gluten free menu but I was reassured by both the seater and server that most everything on the menu could be made gluten free. The server checked with the kitchen and confirmed that each fried item had its own fryer and was safely GF.

While they do have a GF bun, I chose to have my burger as a Chopped Salad Bowl. The Sweet Potato Tots were a large portion and easily shared.

I’d return if I were in the area but don’t think I’d make a special trip.
